Contract Type FiledApril 17th, 2012This thesis analyzed how and why inter-religious music, or perhaps more accurately inter-faithful music, effectively engages the modern American. In the case of Spirit Sounds, Inter-religious music encourages social reformation through event fundraiser, musician networks, the content of music pieces and by the modeling of inter-religious collaboration. Dialogue around music increases understanding of other religious beliefs and practices and leads to meaningful compositions that solidify relationships. Through musical religiosity, Spirit Sound’s inter-religious music increases empathy and the human experience of transcendence within diverse communities. This creates a safe space where individuals of varied religious, spiritual and secular identities feel welcome and can express their personal beliefs.
